Make sure that you select a great title for your blog. Suggestions: use words that when read it caught the attention of the community, as an example “how to prevent…”; “how to improve…” etc. When you start writing your blog make sure the first lines or paragraphs must give the reader a concise and solid idea of what the whole blog will be. If you can catch the reader’s attention there the probability of success on your blog is very high. You must demonstrate to your instructors and peers that what you are writing about will really impact positively the targeted audience which should be schools, worksites, health care facilities, churches, and communities.
You might deliver your blog to your target audience thru social media or any other method you choose that will be effective in reaching out to the community.
Elaborate now in your blog topic and expand your ideas; here you must support each blog with scientific research and scholarly articles. Then conclude your blog with a good summary of your topic, education, interventions, recommendations given.
